Reply #200: It depends on how you define racism, misogyny or misandry. [View All]

[warm regards]

The manner in which those words have been used (except misandry) has diluted their meanings.

In my mind, to act in a racist, etc. manner, is illogical; so no, they are not legitimate views. But bear in mind, prior to 1975, the American Psychological Association considered homosexuality to be a mental illness. Many older people grew up in that environment and I am willing to cut them some slack. Furthermore, many do not believe that anyone is being deprived of their rights, because the laws that are in effect do not single gays out. They apply equally to everyone.

Clearly, you are unwilling to accept the fact that there are some good people who have different views than you do. But there are, and Barack Obama is one of them.
